to "Widescreen". This change increases the visualization area by up to 40%.

In the course of the project migration, you will switch over the predecessor device to the
Comfort HMI device in WinCC. Before switching the HMI device, you define how the
previous screen contents are to be migrated into the new format.
Settings for the adaptation of screens
You make the settings for the adaptation of screens centrally in WinCC for all screens of the
project. To do this, open the "Settings" dialog with "Options > Settings". The various options
are listed in the "Settings" dialog box under "Visualization > Adaptation of screens and
screen objects":
